Speaking on his cabinet choices, Frost said he was "thrilled" to bring in a new set of councillors who would work to address problems in Cornwall.
"Our team understands the challenges our communities face and the opportunities ahead," Frost said.
"We’ll be working closely with residents, businesses, and community groups to shape a Cornwall that works for everyone.
"We are driven by common sense principles. Every decision we make will be focused on putting people first and acting in the best interests of One and All."
As well as this, the Council's new deputy leader, Councillor Adam Paynter, added in his commitment to helping local residents.
"I’m really pleased to be working alongside Councillor Frost and the new Cabinet team," Councillor Paynter explained.
"We’ve got a huge opportunity to build on Cornwall’s strengths and really make a difference to our communities.
"Despite the situation we have inherited we are determined to deliver services that people can rely on."
